Abstract
A harness member includes a cable, a housing with an insertion hole through which the cable is inserted, a heat-shrink tubing covering the housing and the cable exposed on one side from the insertion hole, and a hot melt adhesive to seal between the heat-shrink tubing and the cable and between the heat-shrink tubing and the housing. A recess is formed on the housing so as to be recessed from an outer circumferential surface covered with the heat-shrink tubing. At least a portion of the hot melt adhesive melted between the outer circumferential surface of the housing and an inner circumferential surface of the heat-shrink tubing has flowed into the recess.
Claims7
A harness member, comprising:
- a cable;
- a housing with an insertion hole through which the cable is inserted;
- a heat-shrink tubing covering the housing and the cable exposed on one side from the insertion hole;
- and
- a hot melt adhesive to seal between the heat-shrink tubing and the cable and between the heat-shrink tubing and the housing,
- wherein a recess is formed in a substantially annular shape along a circumferential direction on the housing so as to be recessed from an outer circumferential surface of the housing covered with the heat-shrink tubing, and
- wherein at least a portion of the hot melt adhesive melted between the outer circumferential surface of the housing and an inner circumferential surface of the heat-shrink tubing has flowed into the recess,
- wherein the heat-shrunk tubing entirely covers all the recess along an axial direction of the cable,
- wherein the housing integrally includes a distal end-side portion inside which a sensor is arranged, and a proximal end-side portion around which the heat-shrink tubing is arranged,
- wherein the proximal end-side portion includes a first portion, and a second portion protruding outward relative to the first portion,
- wherein the distal end-side portion protrudes outward relative to the first portion, and
- wherein the recess is formed at the first portion and a width of the recess is smaller than a distance between the distal end-side portion and the second portion along the axial direction of the cable.
